ABSTRACT
Two patients suffering Capgras Syndrome (CS) were evaluated with neuroimaging and neuropsychological tests, the results of which are compared with the existing etiopathogenic theories. To date, the etiopathogeny of the CS continues to lack satisfactory explanation. However, several holistic models have been proposed to better understand the many different theoretical proposals circulating for CS. These theories are discussed and the psychosocial consequences of aggressiveness, an aspect not frequently commented in the literature, are analyzed. Risk for aggressiveness and its negative consequences should be taken into consideration upon diagnosis of CS in order to design effective preventive measures.
